Photo Number 1388

Every year about this time I feature old photographs of soldiers. A few have names, some do not, none of them should be forgotten. America's fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this cause, as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed…. Allen Boyd

This is Walter and the photograph was taken sometime in 1917 or early 1918.

March 25, 1918 Rec’d notice of Walter ??arrival in France April ?

I purchased this photo at Auntie Flo’s Antique Shop in Dorset Minnesota.

It is an amazing shot. There is so much not known about this guy. The arm patch is a different color but it is the same patch that was on my dad's uniform of the next war. I guess I need to look up the meanings of those patches.

Welcome!

This is my place for photos that have been forgotten and left behind. A look into the past. They were in a couple of boxes in an Antique shop..I couldn't resist them. I now search Antique Shops and Garage sales for old photos. If possible I like to return them to family. There are links to older Full Circles at the bottom of this page :)
